Dear Ms. Ferreiro,
Since you did not include an affidavit as I requested, could you please specify whether A) Mr. Murray does not have a personal mobile device, or B) someone other than Mr. Murray searched his device for responsive records?
Cordially,
Phil Mocek
From: EXECPDR
Dear Mr. Mocek,
This request was formally closed on July 17, 2017.
Mayor Murray's work cell phone was searched by his executive assistance Robert Paine-Donovan. The City of Seattle has a policy that personal devices are not to be used for City business.
I have attached the search verification form for your review.
Sincerely,

From: Phil Mocek
Dear Ms. Ferreiro,
I appeal. Your search for responsive records was explicitly inadequate. More than nine months ago, I requested reasonably-identified records related to Ed Murray's job as a city employee, provided a reasonable time period during which those records may have been created in order to limit the scope of necessary search for the records, and suggested locations to search for such records in case some likely locations--personal mobile devices such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets, for example--would otherwise have been overlooked.
Despite that, during the many months it took for you to provide responsive records, your office apparently neglected to either search personal devices or have the employee search his own device and provide a reasonably-detailed affidavit attesting to the nature and extent of that search as I requested. After I followed up with questions about the apparent fact that Mr. Murray's personal devices were not searched, you cited an un-named and un-dated city policy which would prohibit Mr. Murray from using his personal devices for work purposes, but certainly would not prevent outside parties from contacting him about work-related matters on such devices.
If Mr. Murray is confident that his personal devices did not contain responsive records, then it would have been a simple matter for him to search those devices and provide the requested affidavit in lieu of records on the devices that he believes are not public record. If public agencies refrain from searching personal devices used concurrently with work-issued devices simply because internal policy dictates that staff not use personal devices for public business, then we will have created in such devices a very effective shelter for public business that public staff wish to conceal from the public.
Please be aware of the following, quoted from the ["Public Records Act Court Decisions" section][1] of the website of Municipal Research and Services Center, which shows the courts' resolution of conflict between the public's right to oversight of governmental activities and the privacy rights of pubic employees as it pertains to their personal mobile devices:
> West v. Steve Vermillion City of Puyallup, 196 Wn. App. 627 (11/8/2016) – Vermillion, a city councilmember, maintained a private computer on which he maintained some private matters along with some items that related to his position on the city council. West requested the “communications received or posted” through a personal website and associated email account run by the city councilmember. Vermillion refused to provide the documents found at his home, on his personal computer and on his personal email account, citing his rights of privacy under the state and federal constitutions. West sued and the trial court required Vermillion to provide those documents that were public. On appeal, the court affirmed, holding that it was proper to require the production of emails from a personal email account that met the definition of a public record and to require submittal of an affidavit in good faith attesting to the adequacy of the search for the requested records. The court held that the First and Fourth Amendments to the United States Constitution and article I, section 7 of the Washington Constitution do not afford an individual privacy interest in public records contained in the personal email account. In reaching its decision, the court relied on the recent case Nissen v. Pierce County, 183 Wn.2d 863 (2015), which related to records found on a private cellphone. The records, even if they are on a private device, may be subject to disclosure if the person “acts within the scope of his or her employment,” in which case the actions are tantamount to "the actions of the [body] itself." If the records "relate to the conduct of government or the performance of any governmental or proprietary function" and are "prepared, owned, used, or retained by an agency," they are potentially public records subject to disclosure. There is no constitutional privacy right to records that are public records. The possible disclosure of public records does not violate the right to association.
